Block by Number on an EVM Chain

evmrpc/block

One block of an EVM chain by number: hash, parent, timestamp, gas used and limit, base fee in wei, miner or sequencer, and up to 100 transaction hashes (with the total count). Only nodes measured to serve old blocks are asked; a block they do not have, or one past the head, is found false. Read from public nodes that offer no SLA and can be slow, throttled or a block behind; a failing node is replaced by another operator's automatically. Served by Eden Engine; not an official product of any chain or node operator.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "evmrpc/block" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "evmrpc/block" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "evmrpc/block", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "evmrpc/block", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
